Abstract: A computerized controller that limits the movement of a patient lifting device, wherein the controller is operated in a normal mode to sense the lateral rotation of a lifting arm that lifts patients and the linear displacement of extendable support legs for said lifting device and the angular diversion of said support legs. The controller inhibits movement of said lateral rotation of a lifting arm in response to the linear displacemen t and the angular diversion of the support legs to prevent tipping the lifting device. The same controller may be operated in a bypass mode to override the normal mode wherein the patient lifting device may be operated during a setu p and breakdown operation to permit construction and disassembly of the patien t lifting device.

Title: Computer learning memory game and system
Inventor: DOWRICK PETER
IPC: G09B5/06
Filed: 2003-06-06
Abstract: A diagnostically and audibly responsive computer learning memory game works with small children and other persons in teaching them to read. Based upon the game of concentration, square or rectangular tiles to be uncovered are displayed upside down, concealing words to be matched with words or words to be matched with phrases or visual pictures or audible sounds. The computer game matches the cards or tiles with sight words that the user is learning to read from a word list. For example, the computer displays typically 16 rectangles on a video screen, each hiding a word of pairs of words. Gradually the number of rectangles are chosen reduced in number. The user must remember where a correct word of the word pairs is located. The user must read word orally, if not, the computer will prompt the user with a clue until the user answers. If nothing is heard, the user is told the answer.

Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un véhicule à moteur à traction avant/traction arrière tel qu'un bus de taille moyenne qui possède un dispositif de transfert d'énergie et un plancher surbaissé incliné (102). Le dispositif de transfert d'énergie permet une architecture intéressante de l'arbre de transmission (18) dans le cas de véhicule à pont arrière. Le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) forme un plancher totalement plat ne nécessitant pas de structure relevée pour franchir la zone du différentiel (32). En outre, le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) favorise la formation d'un angle de franchissement du châssis inférieur au niveau d'une partie avant de manière à installer une rampe d'accès pratique pour fauteuil roulant plutôt qu'un système élévateur cher. De plus, le plancher surbaissé incliné (102) assure un angle de franchissement du châssis arrière suffisant pour manoeuvrer le plan incliné, et peut s'abaisser, ce qui permet un accès de chargement/déchargement plus facile à l'arrière du véhicule.

Patent CA-2492568-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MEHNERT WALTER
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 2005-01-13
Abstract: A position detector for counting rotational and/or translatory movements in at least one direction has at least one exciter magnet, a single ferromagnetic element and at least one induction coil. Relative movements between the exciter magnet and the ferromagnetic element represent the movements to be counted. The energy which is taken from the movement of those two elements during the approach as therebetween and which is accumulated by means of the ferromagnetic element is liberated in the form of a voltage pulse produced in the induction coil when a given relative position is reached. A rectifier circuit rectifies the voltage pulses and charges a capacitor. Upon the occurrence of a voltage pulse to be counted at least one comparator circuit produces a pulse recognition signal which a non-volatile counting and memory circuit counts and stores, the charge in the capacitor serving for power supply purposes. A data read circuit takes over further processing and output of the data of the counting and memory circuit to a user and a control circuit prevents mutual interference as between the counting and memory circuit and the data read circuit.

Title: Mobile ad-hoc network with intrusion detection features and related methods
Inventor: BILLHARTZ THOMAS JAY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-08-11
Abstract: A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) (60) may include a plurality of nodes (61, 62) for transmitting data therebetween and a policing node (63).

Inventor: IVANOV OLEG ANDREEVICH
IPC: H01J37/32
Filed: 2003-09-18
Abstract: The invention relates to carbon deposition by decomposing gaseous compounds with the aid of the SHF discharge plasma and can be used, for example for producing polycrystalline diamond films (plates), which are used for produci ng output windows of power SHF sources, for example gyrotrons. Said invention ensures a high speed deposition of the high quality diamond films (having a loss-tangent angle .delta. equal to or less than 3x10 -5) on supports whose diameter is equal to or higher than 100 mm. For this purpose, a SHF discharg e is initiated in a gas mixture which is arranged in a reaction chamber and contains at least hydrogen and hydrocarbon. Afterwards, said gas mixture is activated by producing a stable nonequilibrium plasma with the aid of SHF radiation having a frequency f which is many times higher than a commonly us ed frequency of 2.45 GHz, for example 30 GHz. In order to localise the plasma, a standing wave is formed near the carrier and plasma layers are formed in the antinodes thereof in such a way that the sizes thereof are adjustable.</SDOA B>

Title: Transdermal drug delivery formulations and method of determining optimal amounts of vasodilators therein
Inventor: CARTER STEPHEN G
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 2005-07-12
Abstract: A method for determining and demonstrating the role of vasodilator chemical agents in the development and practice of transdermal drug delivery systems. Vasodilator chemicals applied topically dilate the blood vessels in the skin tissue, which have been shown to facilitate or inhibit systemic or skin tissue deposition of drug substances. The level of stimulation and/or inhibition has been found to be dependent on the concentration and the identity of the specific vasodilator chemical(s) used as well as the drug molecule(s) to be delivered. This work teaches the need to consider specific formulation requirements when dealing with vasodilator chemicals for the creation of successful delivery vehicles in the transdermal drug delivery system. These requirements for very low concentrations of vasodilators were an unexpected and a surprise finding, in contrast to the concentrations of the vasodilators typically used to elicit an increase in skin blood flow.

Title: Cyclic membrane separation process
Inventor: NEMSER STUART
IPC: B01D53/22
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: A cyclic process for controlling environmental emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from vapor recovery in storage and dispensing operations of liquids maintains a vacuum in the storage tank ullage. In the first part of a two-part cyclic process ullage vapor is discharged through a vapor recovery system in which VOC are stripped from vented gas with a selectively gas permeable membrane. In the second part, the membrane is inoperative while gas pressure rises in the ullage. In one aspect of this invention, ambient air is charged to the membrane separation unit during the second part of the cycle.  In another aspect, a vacuum is drawn in the membrane separation unit. The charging of air or drawing of vacuum purges VOC from the membrane unit and thus reduces overall VOC emissions.
